Surprisingly, only four Texas burgers made the list. (Have we lost our reputation as meat lovers?) The highest rated among them at No. 39: Bill’s Burger by Becks Prime. Bill’s Burger features sauteed onions, cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapenos, lettuce and prime sauce. All of Becks burgers come with patties made of certified Angus beef.

The only other Houston sandwich singled out: Hubcap Grill’s Hubcap Decker at No. 62. That burger has two beef patties, American and Swiss cheese and Hubcap’s special mayo sauce, as well as lettuce, tomato and pickle.

The No. 1 burger on the Daily Meal list was the Kuma Burger as served at Kuma’s Corner in Chicago.

There are burgers with tomatillo salsa and fried chiles, burgers with Sriracha and grilled pineapple, but if you have to choose just one, go for the signature,the Kuma Burger: bacon, sharp Cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a fried egg. It’s not as though there’s not enough flavor in the burger, but that egg… whoah. It’s nothing short of burger perfection, and it’s the best burger in America.
